Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Great post Doug on how to quit smoking. I think we could apply it to quitting cooked food. Much of the cooked food eating is also for social reasons. So just eat and do nothing else while eating. This may help some people out. I’ve kept your post below so that people can try to apply this same idea to cooked food. Roger Have you tried the Raw Diet many times but failed to stick with it?

Please, allow me Peter. I must tell my story, because it worked so well. Many years ago, I had to use a restroom, and there was nothing else to read but a Readers Digest magazine. Otherwise I wouldn't be caught dead reading Readers Digest, but I must give credit where credit is due. Anyway there was an article about quitting smoking. It was written by a psychiatrist who had developed this system to help his wife quit. To make a long story short I had been smoking for 25 years and quit. Here is the system; you set a date when you will stop smoking. I made mine about 1 ½ months in the future until that date I could smoke as much as I wanted, but I could only smoke alone, and while doing nothing else, no talking, no reading, no sitting on the pot, nothing. (Once again I chose the restroom). The first day my habit dropped to 5 cigarettes a day. What happens is that you get over the habit of smoking. Smoking can be very social and there are social triggers to smoking like smoking after a meal, or while talking, or drinking. You need to adjust to living your life without cigarettes. Then when the date to stop comes, you only have to deal with the addiction. I have not smoked since. That was 1983. I had tried to quit many times before and nothing worked. I also read in another article that if you try to quit and fail, keep trying, and you will find a way that is best for you. Don't ever stop trying.
